Why don't you bring that little mink stole over here and show me how stupid my wrapping paper is?

Acting similarly to the Sandman, pressing alt-fire will cause the player to launch the bauble as a projectile. Upon colliding with an enemy, the bauble shatters into glass shards, delivering damage and bleeding temporarily; however, the weapon itself deals only 30% of the Bat's damage. If the projectile hits someone at an extreme distance, the victim will receive guaranteed critical hit damage from the bauble, and the player will hear a cheering crowd sound effect. Baubles and Baseballs can both be picked up from the ground to recharge the ball meter.

The Wrap Assassin was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Ball Buster".

Bugs

If a player is hit by a friendly Scout's ornament that was deflected by an enemy Pyro, that player will take no damage, even though the bleed icon appears on HUD.

If a player changes teams with the weapon equipped while 'Waiting for Players' or in Setup time, the bauble will remain the previous team's color while the bat will change color to suit the current team.

Trivia

The item's description states that launched baubles fly at 90 miles per hour, while the actual in-game speed is closer to 83 mph.

The Wrap Assassin was first teased on the first day of the Australian Christmas Update 2011, on the bottom left corner of the title image.
